Chapter 37


    I got out of the car with my friends and Xander. Xander held my hand as we walked into the mall.


    " I feel like this is a double date," Someone said. Who would say that? Henry.


    " What? Who''s the second couple? I''m considered as a single person," Sofia replied to him.


    " I mean they are a couple we all know and the leftover persons...never mind...I shouldn''t have said


    anything," Henry walked in front of us, regretting what he said.


    " Do you all know that we arrived an hour early? What are we nning to do till the movie starts?"


    Xander asked, especially seeing me.


    " I would like to go to the book stores,"


    " Book? You want that when there''s a lot of thing in the mall. We can get dresses and cosmetics. See.


    They are everywhere," Sofia pointed out the ces.


    " Don''t try to take me somewhere. I''m going into the bookstore. Who''sing with me?" I asked,


    looking at Xander with a smile.


    " I''m here for you. Buy as many books as you want," He leads me to the bookstores while Henry and


    Sofia figuring out where to go. I roamed the store until I found a whole book series of ''A court of thorns


    and roses'' and bought it.


    " Why didn''t you buy anything?" I asked him.


    " Well, we are going to read it all together so that''s enough for me," That''s right. I like to read with him.


    Every time.


    Finally, we are at the counter to buy something to eat.


    " What do you all want? Obviously, Xander will pay for it so don''t hesitate," Henry said.


    " Who''s going to hesitate? I want arge popcorn, sandwich, french fries and a coke." Sofia made a


    list.


    " I just want arge popcorn and a coke," I said after a minute. Atst, Xander asked Henry and


    entered the counter. We waited, doing nothing.


    " Hey, does it looks like Veronica or am I imagining things?" Suddenly Henry ced his hand on my


    shoulder and asked in shock. I looked at the person he pointed out.


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    " There''s no doubt in it. That bitch really tracked us. Wow, such a waste of time," Sofiaughed, looking


    straight at her. Veronica''s walking with her eyes on her phone.


    " Does she have something important to tell?" I wondered as Veronica spotted us and approached us


    with a fierce look on her face.


    " I told you I will find you. Now, where is Xander?"


    " He''s in the counter. Tell us what do you want?" Henry spoke politely to her. But Veronica took a step


    towards the counter.


    " Whoa, is it that important? Don''t make a scene and tell me why you are here," I grabbed her arm and


    stopped her.


    " You made him cancel the wedding and now you are not letting me see him. Is it been your wicked


    n all these days?" She said, looking at me like I''m a threat to her.


    " Was it your n to betray me by epting Xander''s proposal even after knowing that I love him. Was


    it your wicked n to betray a close friend and see her suffer? I have way more things to tell. Should


    I?"


    " I came here to tell Xander about something his parents what''s to convey. They don''t trust Henry so


    they sent me. They are going to try reminiscence Therapy with a help of a professional therapist. It will


    help Xander to get his memories back since he''s not trying anything. He might need to spend one or


    hours five days in a row. His parents desperately want him to agree to this. So, tell this to him. Will


    you? Make him agree to this. Don''t forget one thing. I''m not requesting you. I''m doing what his parents


    said. I will never beg you," She finished and I exchanged nces with Henry.


    " I won''tpel him. If Xander epts I will tell you."


    " I know you would say this. You are afraid that he will leave you if that happens. You are afraid that he


    will regret what he had done without his memories."


    " I''m not afraid of anything. You want him to ept to take the therapy. Tell his parents that he agreed. I


    know he will never leave me. Your job''s done here. Leave,"


    She already spoiled a good movie night with her arrival. Atleast, she should leave now. I had enough of


    seeing her face.


    " My job''s not done here. I took a ticket for the same movie." She showed two tickets. Did shee


    with someone?


    " Who''s that someone? Did you get a new boyfriend after Xander left you? " Sofia asked.


    " He''s just a friend and It''s none of your business." She left us and entered the theatre.


    " Henry? Help me with these trays," Xander called from the counter.


    When Xander''s back, I got the tray from him and walked inside. " Veronica came here,"


    " She did. What did she want?"


    " Your parents want you to take rem...re...some therapy. You don''t need to think about it now. We will


    discuss itter,"


    " I can find a therapist for me. I didn''t ask for any help."


    " Yeah, I know. But they wanted it. And I also told her that you agreed to it. I''m sorry for not asking you


    but she drove me mad. She still thinks that you will leave me after you get your memory back. But I


    have trust in it. So, I agreed with that. Still, the decision lies in your hand. You can think and tellter,


    Xander. Take your time,"


    " You trust me that I won''t leave you. Then, this memory won''t stand in our way. I may agree to this but


    I want a week free of no pressure of the past,"


    " Sure, no one is stressing you. The memories can wait until you are ready to remember it," I held his


    hands and our eyes shifted the screen. As time passed by, someone heads towards a seat next to


    Xander. From the torchlight in their hands, I can see their faces. It''s Veronica and....Who the hell is he?


    Peter...the one who''s been hanging out with her in school days.


    " Madison, why didn''t you say that she haven''t left?" Xander asked.


    " She bought a ticket too. Just don''t pay attention." I simply said and an hour passed as Sofia went to


    buy something again. Did she finish eating it all in the first half of the movie?


    I saw hering back to our seats. She only bought a single coke.


    " It seems like you are freaking hungry all the time?" I asked her.


    " I can be freaking hungry when I get free foods," She replied and approaching us, walking steadily.


    The next moment, her feet stumbled by something down on the floor. Her hands slipped, dropping the


    coke.


    Shit, I know what happens next and I have to prevent myself from seeing it. Sofia dropped it right on


    Veronica. I heard the words ''What the hell'' in a high pitched tone.


    " Oh, god. I wasted Xander''s money," that was the first word Sofia spoke.
